Le Peep is one of those Houston things that us born-and-raised Houstonians take for granted, you know? It’s just always there for a casual breakfast or quick lunch. But an expanding River Oaks District threatened that longstanding Le Peep on Westheimer until it found a new spot just down the street. The new, swankier Le … Continue reading
Like Beyonce, we’re all waking up flawless, so why should we settle for anything less for our most important meal of the day? Houston is a town with amazzzzinnnggg brunch (we all knew that), but, is it just me, or are more and more restaurants feeling like eating good 7 days a week with fancy … Continue reading
We’ve quite literally brunched across America (even battled between the East and the West coasts), but we hadn’t yet brunched at Pax Americana right here in Houston. We’ve fixed that. Pax Americana is one of those places you’ve driven past a thousand times but never even thought about visiting (or at least, it was for me). … Continue reading
Another brunch for the books ladies and gentlemen at Brasil Cafe in Montrose. Nestled into the corner of Dunlavy and Westheimer behind vines and bushes, you almost miss this gem of a brunch eatery. However despite its unassuming storefront, it must not be overlooked. The rather dark, wood paneled interior is spacious and filled with colorful art, … Continue reading
Bernadine’s. The newest addition to the Treadsack restaurant family is open and has started serving brunch! We hit up Bernadine’s on the first brunch weekend to check out the Gulf Coast cuisine restaurant in the Heights (yes that means there was a lot of fish on the menu). PSA: Other #ItsNotHou adventures at Treadsack restaurants include dinner at Foreign … Continue reading
Last weekend, #BrunchKlub headed out to Urban Eats for some delightful brunch treats. Located on Washington Ave, Urban Eats is a real treat on the Houston brunch scene. It just opened up last year (check out Natalie’s review on it for dinner), so if you head over now you can still be considered a trend … Continue reading
New favorite brunch place: North Italia. The food is divine. And cheap. And homemade. And delicious. All of the stars are awarded to North Italia. I ordered the Strozzapreti (without the chicken). I normally get something breakfast-y at brunch, but I cannot turn down homemade pasta. OMG YUM. It was a rich, filling dish with a … Continue reading
Sunday brunch is quite the ritual. It occurs religiously every week at the same time. And once the weekend rolls around, I can feel my bones, stomach, hangover routinely craving the thearapuetic qualities of fresh mimosas, spicy eggs, and shaded patios. It’s safe to say that I’ve brunched a lot in Houston. I’ve been to some good ones. I’ve been … Continue reading
Dish Society. So basically, Dish Society should be on every Houstonian’s bucket list. It’s hip and cute and has that whole farm to table thing going for them. I went there for dinner a few months ago and it changed the way I thought about mac and cheese–cauliflower and Brussels sprouts baked on top–yes please. Still … Continue reading
It’s been a while since I’ve written a brunch post. But then again it’s been a while since I’ve gone to a noteworthy brunch. Recovering from the hangover of two Sundays of mediocre brunch (I’m looking at you Añejo and Majorca), El Big Bad in Downtown Houston really took the edge off and restored my faith in the restorative … Continue reading
